Hi,
Well I tried it. Shaved about 1 to 1.5 mg off the 7.5 mg Remeron. Did not sleep well last night. Slept till about 4.10 am and then intermittently on till about 6.30 am, laid in bed till about 8 am. Feel a bit hung over, spaced out. Tonight I will either take 7.5 mg or maybe more say 7.5 mg + 1/2 of 7.5 mg = +/- 10 mg. See how that works.

> I'm on Remeron for sleep. Difficult to get the dose right. Been on 7.5 mg (1/2 tab.) for the past nine nights. Before that I experimented a bit. 3.75 (approx. with pill cutter) gave me a hangover the next day. First time 7.5 mg I felt brilliant the next day; although I was awake at 3 am I went back to sleep intermittently till about 6.30 am. Thats it with me on 7.5 mg I sleep till 3 then intermittently until about 6.30 am. Only once have I slept right through the night. Tried 15 mg one night but again slept till 3 and then not much afterwards. Went back to 7.5 mg.
